Comments on: The Moleskine (and why we’re still looking) http://blackcover.net/?p=5 Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:34:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nikita http://blackcover.net/?p=5&cpage=1#comment-3858 Nikita Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:47:51 +0000 http://blackcover.wordpress.com/2007/04/29/the-moleskine-and-why-were-still-looking/#comment-3858 I've owned just 1 Moleskin and I bought it mainly because of the hype surrounding it. After a week of using it, I regretted the purchase. I've always used japanese notebooks as I love the wide variety of designs and sizes they come in. But I love using them because the paper is so much smoother. I was shocked at how crappy the paper is in a moleskin notebook. It's good to see that there are people that don't think Moleskin is THE notebook to end all notebooks. I'm definitely going to enjoy reading this blog for other alternatives.

I ordered 2 moleskines from Amazon.ca a few weeks ago. When they came in the mail, the corners were slightly bent (tolerable, but still a defect). I proceeded to email Moleskine.. Just today, they emailed me back appologizing and said that 2 new moleskines were being shipped to me. Rob’s right.

You know the Moleskine comes with a warranty, right? Check the little info brochure that comes inside the notebook. At the bottom of the front page there's a "quality control number". The paragraph underneath it states that if you find a fault with your Moleskine you can send them an email with a digital photo and the quality control number, and they'll replace it. I read another blog where the guy had the exact same problem as you, got in touch with the company and had a replacement shipped to him with an apology email. Pays to read the fine print, folks.

It really depends on how important it is to you. It may cost about the same as a new black book but you will not have to copy over your information to a new book. Get a protective cover for hardbooks imo. Seriously you should consider getting a better cover for your black book such as a leather cover. It really depends on how important it is to you.

Then instead of buying these notebooks and just reviewing the features doesn't do much. What I'd like to see more, is these same notesbooks after about 3-6 months of use, aka being shoved into pockets, dragged around in the bottom of a purse or backpack, basically used to death. And in the notebook itself you can document when the elastic dies, the middle of the notebook cracks, the cover starts to slip, etc. Because it's obvious that a shiny next moleskine works GREAT, as does the rest of the notebooks you're reviewing, but I want to know how well they hold up to being used, abused, and tossed around for months.

When the spine breaks, just glue it back and don't go for a "replacement" until you finish using the book. Have we lost our creativity in mending things back? What are you talking about?
